how much longer do you all think specht will be coaching since all of his boys will be in college next year? could that job open up sooner rather than later, and would that create ripples in the cincinnati coaching ranks?

Never any interest on Dattilo's part. This was a case of Moeller dreaming. There is only one job that Dattilo would leave Sycamore for.

You make it sound like Sycamore is the coaching equivalent of being at Alabama? Seriously? If financially Moeller could pay him the money he is making at Sycamore, he would be at Moeller in a heart beat!

No.....he is a teacher who is invested in STRS. To leave that now would be financially unwise unless he has another means of support and retirement. While this whole sports thing has its place it doesn't trump lifetime income.

Earl White from Belmont to Middletown could happen. I know he's fed up with DPS and their pathetic standards of GPA, Baker incident etc. The Thurgood basketball coach, Hoskins, and Pullen from Dunbar are down in Middletown already.

I heard Specht on the radio w/Lance McAllister 5+ years ago and this was discussed. I remember him saying he wanted to stay on till his last son left X. I don't believe he commited to leaving then but that he would coach that long at a minimum.

In what could be a huge surprise. I have heard from two people that tomorrow may be the last game for Andre Parker at WW. I was told that he may be looking for different challenges and I know that he has been approached by a few colleges before.

I posed the same question about potential movement in Cincy, but the thread got locked. Not sure why.

I’ve heard the same thing with Specht that he would leave X after his kids graduated, but we all know rumors spread like wildfire, so the only person that knows is Coach Specht himself. I am sure with the success that he has had and the college connections he has made, big D1 options will be on the table should he make the difficult decision to leave. If that does indeed happen who does X turn to to continue the success he has had?

I can't imagine the quality of national candidates that would apply to X if Specht were to leave.

Would they take it national? Didn't they do this with the basketball program?

To be honest I am not sure why a lot of programs do this. If I were making the decision I would try and find someone that has a relation to the school either in house or is an alum. They know the school, they know the character of the kids that go to the school and they know the tradition and what it means. Look at the rumors with Moeller.

I would have to assume that for anyone in the profession of teaching or coaching, the opportunity to teach or coach at your alma mater would be a dream job. Well let me back pedal as long as you enjoyed your time spent at your alma mater.

Well, his name was still not one I heard, even from the initial larger set, but if they did reach out, smart. Why not cast a wide net to great candidates. Sycamore is lucky to have him.

Regardless if moe did or not (who knows) as a Moe guy, moe alum etc. he would be a fool to take it. He has been in the state retirement system for years and it is literally 3x what Moeller offers (retirement contribution). Its not like he has a burning desire to coach at Moeller. He has been competing against us either directly or indirectly his whole time at SYC. I hate to say it but, honestly Moe either gets Pat or goes after a higher profile alum who takes the job for reasons other than money.

I'm afraid Moeller does not have big time private $ nor public backing financially.

I wonder if he was at the aviators helm when we ripped their hearts out, at their place 10 years ago (2007-Crables last win)

For those of you guessing that Pat McLaughlin would leave LaSalle to go to Moeller, please take a look at the below tweet from Mike Dyer.

Well, He did say the same thing to The Players and Coaches at Princeton and was gone the next dayMaybe its different this time.

Haven't heard this one. Although he would like to coach at a higher level. He is definetly a family man. He has a BIG family and wouldn't like moving them around.
